However, a key part of the National Energy and Climate Plan is to gradually phase out the use of lignite, which includes the decommissioning of all existing lignite units by 2023, except the Ptolemaida V unit, which will be closed by 2028. This plan makes Greece a frontrunner among countries who intensively use lignite in energy production. In this context, this paper investigates the environmental, economic, and social state of Megalopolis and the related perspectives with regard to the energy transition, through the elaboration of a SWOT analysis, highlighting the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the municipality of Megalopolis and the regional unit of Arcadia.

  • Paros E Antiparos
    PAROS E ANTIPAROS Paros è una delle più grandi isole delle Cicladi, situata nel Mar Egeo, famosa per il marmo bianco e per essere patria del poeta Archiloco, consiste in case bianche a forma di cubo, dipinte di bianco, con tetti orizzontali, finestre e porte di legno colorato e balconi costruiti ad anfiteatro l’uno sopra l’altro, ricchi di fiori; strade bianche e strette, e scale a serpentina che si avvolgono intorno alle case conducendo in cima al villaggio, dove in genere c’è una chiesa. L’architettura insomma è quella tipica delle Cicladi, coi mulini a vento a completare il quadro tradizionale. La principale città è Parikia. E’ abbastanza grande, tra Paros e Antiparos sarà come l’isola d’Elba ed ha una fascia costiera di 120 km. Essendo uno scalo molto importante, è collegata via mare a quasi tutte le isole dell'Egeo ed è provvista di un aeroporto che la collega ad Atene. In estate, vi sono frequenti servizi di traghetto per varie destinazioni come: Amorgos, Anafi, Ikaria, Ios, Samos, Koufonisia, Mykonos, Naxos, Rodi, Santorini, Schinousa, Skiathos, Syros, Tinos, ma anche per Creta, Volos e Salonicco. Storia: Paros e stata abitata dal 3200 a.C. come dimostrano gli scavi nell’isoletta di Saliagos, situata tra Paros e Antiparos le quali probabilmente, formavano nell’antichità un’unica isola. Secondo la mitologia, Alceo il cretese fu il primo re di Paros e costruì una cittadella là dove oggi è situato il capoluogo dell’isola Parikia. Durante quegli anni Creta aveva scambi commerciali con l’Egitto, l’Assiria e i Balcani.
